Looking for a new PSU for my matx build.

I recently switched to a mATX case and the only problem I have is with the power supply. It's a little to long and gets in the way of my graphics card. The power supply is only semi-modular so I'm kinda stuck with the large ugly mobo connector that gets in the way. I'm looking for a PSU that's slightly smaller than my current CorsairHX750 and that's fully modular. I would like it to be at least 80+ Gold. It would also be great if the cables are sleeved or maybe they offer cables that are short and/or are sleeved. The other problem is the connectors that power the hard drives are connected in 1 cable so it's a mess in my case since I have a few hard drives. I've been looking for a new PSU for a while but can't seem to find a good one that fits my needs or gets close. If anyone that has a mATX build can help that would be great.

Yeah, that HX750 is 180mm long. If you are looking for the SAME 750W, then this should fit your preferences:

EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750W (150mm length, all cables sleeved black, fully-modular, 80+ Gold, $99.99 @ Newegg)

But do you need 750W? What is your GPU and CPU? I'd also look into how much power draw you do theoretically, in order to actually buy an ample PSU wattage...
well considering your using an ATX PSU in a mATX Case no surprise its a tighter than normal fit in there.

here is a google search link to 600w Gold Rated mATX power supplies, since your system barely pulls 400w, 600-650w is plenty of power but feel free to change the 600w to 750w... good luck

The above listed PSU (as well as other brands/models) might have a lower wattage than 750W which is shorter in length than your current PSU, and might be more than enough to power your rig.

I think i'm gonna go with that PSU and see how it is. According to pcpp my build is barely hitting 400w so the 650w should be fine to save some cash.
